This shot was created by myself by laying the container on its side .
Phototropism at its finest.
Phototropism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is after 72 hours.

The stem will bend.The more you tip the container the more bend you will get.

All kidding aside

This bad/misleading/uninformed BS is interesting, but what really will happen when you try to tilt the plant to/near that degree so it fits in your home is....

The plant stops pushing new leaves and the process of rotting/dying begins, aka Lower Ohioan Simulated Variegation.

Lower Ohioan Simulated Variegation can also be achieved by a liberal application of the high quality broad-spectrum systemic variegaticide foliar spray developed by Monsanto.


Caveat...
This can actually be used successfully if your plant has already drop/shot/produced a grouping/flower/bloom/bunch/raceme.
